Hutch is a newspaper columnist, single dad . . . and last defense against a lunatic’s high-tech killing machine.
Special Forces veteran-turned-billionaire Brendan Page has some dirty not-so-little secrets. He’s built an empire on supplying futuristic weapons and highly trained soldiers to the world’s most powerful armies.
But he’s saved his most destructive weapons for himself.
John Hutchinson, a Denver newspaper columnist and avid bow-hunter, has figured out the truth about Brendan Page and is determined to bring him down. But he’s up against a warmonger linked to assasinations, kidnappings, and terrorist activities.
Hutch quickly uncovers a plan that seems unfathomable in its recklessness and loss of life. Yet he’s just one man up against impossible odds–with no Plan B. Thankfully, it’s just the kind of environment Hutch thrives best in . . . if he can survive the next three days.
Deadlock will grab you from the riveting first page to its white-knuckle climax.
“With a blistering pace and irresistable characters, Deadlock is the best of high-octane suspense.”
– Gayle Lynds, New York Times best-selling author of The Last Spymaster

Summary
From: Isaac
Book Title: Deadfall
Book Author: Robert Liparulo
What do you like about this book:
As always, Liparulo succeeds in hooking his audiences with face-paced action and thrills. But how he manages to do so with a story such as this still amazes me. The usual quality of his plots are lost to this sci-fi, action flick. But despite is lack of redemptive qualities, Deadfall makes for an entertaining read. However, not his best.
Sexual Content: A woman and her child are held captive by a band of surly men, and on more than one occasion, she is consumed with the fear of being raped. And although it never happens, it does leave the reader preparing for the worse.
Violence: Naturally, Liparulo packs this novel with strong sequences of bloody gore and grisly moments. They are frequent, however, unrealistic.
Drug/Alcohol: The protagonist assumes the gang is under the influence of drugs.
Language: H-ll is thrown about occasionally.
